What is the most economical way to travel in Osaka and Tokyo?

How to choose a transportation card? It depends on how you plan to play in Tokyo.

First of all, let me talk about subway coupons.

Tokyo subway is very developed. Take the subway with the densest subway distribution (メトロ) as an example, which covers almost every corner of Tokyo. Areas frequented by Tokyo, such as Ginza, Shibuya, Ueno, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, can be reached by subway. Look at the road map:

Besides the subway (with 9 lines) and Du Ying subway (with 4 lines) mentioned above, there are two other companies operating Tokyo subway.

If you have to travel through the city by subway several times a day, it is very affordable to buy subway tickets. The following are two common subway coupons:

Most recommended: ★★★★★★★

△ Tokyo subway ticket subway coupon

Du Ying Metro and Metro Metro Metro are available, which are divided into 24-hour tickets, 48-hour tickets and 72-hour tickets, and can be taken unlimited times in the corresponding time. The prices are 800/ 1200/ 1500 yen respectively (half price for children aged 6-1/kloc-0).

More commonly used: ★★★★

△ METRO subway one-day ticket

It is often mentioned by friends, but the subway ticket can only take Metro Line 9, not Du Ying Metro, and the price is not cheap (1 1,000 yen), which is not very cost-effective.

Second, talk about JR

Like the subway, there are many JR lines densely distributed in downtown Tokyo, and there are basically JR lines near the subway in the city. JR lines are generally wider than subways because they extend to the periphery of cities, such as Disney and Three Eagle Ghibli.

Most recommended: ★★★★★★★

△ Dezhinei Pass in Tokyo Metropolitan Area

Tokyo Pass is a kind of advanced discount ticket. With it, you can take all the ordinary trains (including express trains, which are limited to free seats in ordinary cars) in 23 districts of Tokyo for unlimited times in one day.

Three, watermelon card or PASMO card (can brush a variety of public transport).

If you go to the subway, JR, private railway and bus every day, or you think it is too troublesome to change tickets, it is highly recommended to use watermelon card or PASMO card, which is familiar to tourists.

Although there is no discount (for example, taking the subway, the original 170 yen is only cheap with a transportation card 165 yen), it will be very convenient to transfer. You can take the subway, JR, private bus, etc., or you can go to convenience stores and other places to spend money. The most commonly used transportation cards in Tokyo are Watermelon Card and PASMO Card, and their application scope is similar. Kansai's ICOCA card can also be used in Tokyo, but it is not allowed to return the card in Tokyo. Similarly, the watermelon card in Tokyo can also be used in other regions. Take the watermelon card as an example:

The most convenient place to buy a watermelon card is the self-service vending machine at JR station, and you can also recharge it yourself in the machine. If you are worried that you can't speak Japanese and don't know how to buy it on the machine, you can also buy it on Taobao and other websites in China in advance. The same is true.
